FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - January 16, 2013

 

State Representative Joe Carr 48TH Legislative District Lascassas, TN.
 

State Representative Joe Carr, from Tennessee's 48th District filed legislation Tuesday, House Bill 0042, that would charge any Federal agent with a Class A Misdemeanor for enforcing or attempting to enforce a federal law, statute, rule, regulation or executive order that bans, restricts or requires the registration of any semi automatic firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition.

"In light of recent comments and actions taken by President Obama and Vice President Biden, I believe it is necessary that Tennessee proactively promote, maintain and defend Tennessee's sovereignty guaranteed to it in the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. Additionally this most blatant assault on the 2nd Amendment by the Obama Administration is a systematic effort to disarm the law biding citizens of the United States. The 2nd Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights which was intended to protect the individual and the states from the tyranny of government," stated Representative Carr.

Carr also said, "The 2nd Amendment is not meant just for hunters, it specifically states that 'A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed', therefore, the Federal government shall not through law or executive order infringe upon our Constitutional-given rights as citizens of the United States and the Great State of Tennessee."

Recently, Carr announced the formation of the 10th Amendment Caucus, a group he co-founded with State Representative Judd Matheny from Tennessee's 47th District. The Caucus will be focused on advancing the Constitutional requirement for states to maintain, promote and defend the 10th Amendment. Additionally, Carr is the architect and author of almost all Illegal Immigration laws in Tennessee. Due to his efforts, Tennessee has some of the strongest enforceable immigration laws in the United States.

Way to go Joe! I certainly would back that!

Should make it a felony!

Should be made a felony instead of a misdemeanor.

I too am in favor of Rep. Carr's awesome House Bill 42! In fact, I made an website promoting it:

Feel free to point others to it in order to get the word out.

Also, if you have any feedback on the site, technical problems, and so on, I'd be happy to address them.

I saw a reply from Rep. Carr on the level of offense, he said he did not think he could get it passed if it was indeed a felony, that his fellow Rep.s would not support that.

Sad but I bet you are right.  I saw a similar bill in Wyoming that did, in fact, make it a felony there.  Different people though...wonder what the chances of getting ours passed here, and enforced after that?  I'm reminded of other bills I've seen here and elsewhere about sovereignty, but I think these were more resolutions rather than laws that carried penalties.

Great bill, slight correction to his comments though, the Constitution does not give us any rights, we've had all rights from the beginning endowed to us by our creator. The constitution's purpose is to protect those rights from an over reaching federal government.
